SECTION- A

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:-

Arthur lay in his cabin, still trying to piece together the events of the last few hours. He had
watched his home planet to Earth be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, been saved
by his friend Ford, and then whisked away on a ship that was powered by an " Infinite
improbability drive" It was all too much for him.
Just then, Ford stuck his head around the door. "Hey Earthman," he said, " Come and have a
look at this"
Arthur stumbled after him down a corridor and into the ship's Control room. He gazed in
amazement at the banks of controls and flashing lights . In the center of the room was a large
console covered in buttons and switches and in the middle of the console was a small, white mouse.
"What's that?" asked Arthur.
" That's the ship's computer" said Ford.
Arthur stared at the mouse. "That’s a computer " he said. "Yup" said Ford "Five dimensional,
biologically based, super intelligent and in the form of a white lab mouse. Pretty neat, huh?" I don't
know," said Arthur.
I don't think I really understand anything more. Why is a mouse The ship's computer?
"It is a long story" said Ford. " But the short version is that the mice built the Earth as a giant
computer to figure out the ultimate question of life', the universe, and everything. Then they ran
out of money and had to destroy it to make way for a hyperspace bypass. So now they are using the
Heart of gold to finish the calculation"
Arthur was about to say something but at that moment the ship's intercom cracked to life.
"Good Evening, Heart of Gold," said a smooth, computerized voice. "This is Eddie, your shipboard
computer. I'm feeling a bit depressed today. Would you like me to sing you a song?" "Oh, not
again," Groaned Ford.
" Eddie, would you mind shutting up ? " said Arthur.
Arthur sighed and leaned back against the console , trying to make sense of everything. But as
he closed his eyes, he heard a voice inside his head." Hello?" It said.
Arthur jumped, startled, "who's there?" he said .
"It's me. "said the voice. "Marvin"
"Marvin?" said Arthur. " Who's Marvin?"
"The Paranoid Android," but he didn't see any one.
" Where are you?" he said.
'I am down here, " said the voice.
Arthur looked down and saw a small, metal figure
shuffling across the floor. It was about three feet tall, with a round head and a body that looked
like it had been cobbled together from spare parts. It's eyes were a dull red and its voice was a
monotone. "I have been waiting for someone to talk to me for over two million year's", said
Marvin.
